Sample PLP Activities

While many Fellows engage in a similar array of activities throughout the Fellowship (language learning, volunteering, etc.), the shape of a Fellow’s schedule will vary from day to day, week to week, and even month to month. Fellows balance their individual learning (PLP) with the communal learning and activities (planning and preparing for seminars and community days, etc.).

Below is a list of sample activities that Fellows often engage in, although it is by no means an exhaustive list and should not limit your thinking as to what is possible on the Fellowship:

Language lessons with a tutor, language classes, and completing the language homework

“Studio time” -- a concentrated number of hours that many artists and writers choose to utilize as they work on a project, along with meeting with a tutor or teacher to review their work

Volunteering in any number of locations, from an after-school program to an urban garden

Creative/artistic projects like creating a documentary, developing a dance piece, starting a podcast, working with a curator to create an exhibit
